His music is mainly exploratory and uses algorithmic procedures to create musical structures. The theme of chaos theory,[1] abstracting sound scores to instrumental music, Musica A Lo Pobre, non duality, multipolarity and axiomatic music[2][3] tends to be the major pivots in his work.

In sound art he investigates Plastic Sound Forms which is a field were the illusion of plasticity in sound is investigated to create solid sonic forms in 3D space.

He is also a guitarist and Puerto Rican cuatro player, improviser and founding member of the Puerto Rican folkloric experimental trio called Abolengo and the founder of CMEPR – Collective of Experimental Music of Puerto Rico.

He has performed and presented works in The Hague and Amsterdam-The Netherlands, Bratislava-Slovakia, Budapest-Hungary, Vienna-Austria, Rhode Island, Boston, New York, California – USA, Banff-Canada, Chile, Argentina and Mexico.

He is currently active in the experimental music scene in Puerto Rico.
